Biotene like others have recommended immediately after surgery. Wouldn't know why it wouldn't work for you also. Worse case scenario, rinse out your mouth with non-alcoholic mouthwash.

Im wondering the same thing. Anything from Protein Shakes, Ensure etc, will dry my mouth instantly. I just rinse my mouth with Water which helps a little, that was the only suggestion my doctor gave.

I know which really sucks I was wondering if we could have a sugar-free mints maybe every now and then or even if sugar-free Lifesaver or something

With the biotene, it says uou have to brush first, then use it, right?

Well since you're taking in liquids only that rule could be ignored.
